= japanese Chemist.s Shop.

The quaint old man whose loyal adherence
to the customs of his ancestors afforded me
such an interesting illustration bcth of old
Japan and old Britain, was a seller of curoy-
akie-i G., carbonzed animals: in other
words, animals reduced to charcoal, and
potted in small covered jars of earthenware,
TO be sold as medicine for the SICK and suffer
ing. Formerly all these animals were kept
alive in the back premises, and customers Sc
lected the creature for themselves, and stood
by to see it killed and burned on the spot, so
that there could be no deception and no doubt
as to the freshness OF their charred medicine.
Doubtless some insensible foreign influence
may account for the disappearance of the
menagerie OF waiting victims and their Gre
nation ground; now the geological back yard
has vanished, and only the strange chemists
shop remains, like well stored museum.
wherein are ranged portions of the dried car
cases of dogs and deer, foxes and badgers,
rats and mice, toads and frogs, tigers and
elephants.
The rarer the animal and the farther il has

POWDERLY'S SUCCESSOR.
Paul 7. Bowen a Strong Candidate for

MINNEAPoLIs, Mimi, Dec. 15-The dis
datch from Philadelphia announcing the
serious illness of General Master Workman
Powderly, of the Knights of Labor, has
caused considerable excitement in Mime
apolis labor circles There is general
feeling that the death of Mr.. Powderly
would be very unfortunate for the order
at this time although it probably would
not prove disastrous. j. McGaughey,
who has received several sele-
speaking of the discussion as to who would
succeed Mr.. Powderly in case of his death.
says: General Worthy Foreman Rich
ard Griffiths would by succession in office,
succeed Mr.. Powderly, but l don't think
he would serve any longer than
obliged to, for the reason that he
is getting, rather aged. The result
would be obliged to meet and select a sue
cessor to serve until the next meeting of
the general assembly, in case Mr. Griffths
refused to complete the unexpired term.
who would make a good successor to
Powderly?"
My choice would be Paul T. Bowen.
Next to Mr.. Powderly, he is the best man
for the place in the order today, He Is
brainy man, is conservative, and is the
best writer on labor topics in America to-
day. At the head of the orders journal
he would make the dry bones of the other
fellows rattle as they never ratified be

Paul T. Bowen is. and has been for years
a clerk in the fourth auditors office at
Washington He is well known to the
older habitants of Minneapolis as the
former proprietor of the Hennepin County
Mirror. He is about 81 years old. John
Swinton calls him 1.-The most able and for
chile writer on labor topics in America.
Bowen is not very widely known out
side the order, because he has kept
himself aloft from the quarrels and office
seeking squabbles that have been made so
much in print He is, however, said to
have very strong backing among the
class of knights who are Powderly's
strongest friends-the conservative men,
who think more of the order than they do
